The One with the 9th Grade Graduation Flashback

Sunday, June 8, 2008

Times they are a changin'! It seems like only yesterday I graduated from Evergreen Junior High. I remember that evening well. We took a ferry on the Puget Sound and I remember how the Seattle skyline looked all lit up in the dark.Eight years later yesterday, my sister graduated from the same school. Style-wise, we were all about the solids and bleach blond hair in 2000 while these girls are into striking patterns, layers and being natural brunettes in 2008.I feel like I was so much older than Allison is now at the same age - does that make sense? I'm 15 in the picture, and Allie is 15 in her picture, but I still feel like I'm older - which I am, but I shouldn't feel like that when comparing pictures of us at the same age.

i just stumbled to your blog from american crafts (yay!). is this from redmond junior high by chance?? my daughter is just finishing her 8th grade year there; she's bummed that this is the last year that they're doing the 9th grade cruise. we just talked about it the other day, so it's funny to read this on your blog :)

welcome!

I’m from Seattle. Chris is from Denver. We met at BYU and got married in 2007 in Nauvoo, IL. Chris graduated from the USC School of Dentistry in 2013 through an Army scholarship. We just returned from Grafenwöhr, Germany after being stationed there for 4 years and we LOVED traveling all around Europe! Now we're stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington. I’m a stay-at-home-working-mom to our son Fox and daughter Jane. Scrapbooking is my passion and I have my own signature collections with Pink Paislee called FANCY FREE, TAKE ME AWAY, OH MY HEART, TURN THE PAGE, and PICK-ME-UP. I’m a teacher at Big Picture Classes, on the Scrapbook & Cards Today design team, I make and release 10 new Silhouette cut files every week, and I have an Etsy shop on the side. I love teaching in-person scrapbooking and bookbinding workshops whenever and wherever I can! Thanks for stopping by!
